The Murder Game is an American horror film starring Julia Pickens, Steve Polites, Katie Sirk and Samuel Klein. It was directed by Robert Harari. The film is distributed by Warner Bros. and Lightyear Entertainment.
Murder scenes were well accomplished and shocking from a gore perspective. A few dialogs made explicit references to several cliches of the indie horror genre in a humoristic way, but the script/plot actually provided some surprising twists. Extras include behind-the-scenes pictures that help lighten the mood after the violence of the film itself. Further behind-the-scenes details were then provided in The Murder Game: 10 Years Later (2015).
